# INTVL vs Runify

The clearest difference is ads: Runify at none against INTVL's shown. INTVL's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 66%) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 244). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. INTVL sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Runify sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for INTVL against 4.8 for Runify. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INTVL has 5.1K ratings behind it against 244, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of INTVL's written reviews are positive against 66% of Runify's.

INTVL ships an update every 6 days, Runify fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
